The shortness surprised the audience.

He later say " But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we can not consecrate, we cannot hallow, this ground. the brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract." Lincoln is trying to say that no matter what words are said to dedicate the cemetery to the men that died there, it will not equal how much they have already done.
 * Author's Purpose:** He wanted to remind the North there reason for fighting. To preserve a young country unmatched by any other country in history in its commitments to principle of freedom, equality, and self-government. In one line he says that the world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. When he says this he is trying to portray that he does not want people to take away from this, the speeches that were given that day. But for them to go beyond that meaning and look into the men and what they died for. He wants them to be remembered so that they do not die in vain. Lincoln wants the audience to not worry about what he says, in fact he could care less what they remember of his speech as long as they remember what those men that died for did, and what they died for.

Battle of Gettysburg Dated July 1st to July 3rd of 1863. The battle field contained 7500 dead bodies and the twenty four hundred residence of Gettysburg made it a priority to give the dead an honorable and manner burial.

David Wills proposed the idea and paid $2,475.87 to purchase the seventeen acres land now known as the Gettysburg Memorial. David Wills invited Edward Everett, an governor of Massachusetts, president of Harvard University and United States Secretary of State, who gave an two hour speech prior to Lincoln.

David Wills invited Lincoln to come speak at the memorial. He was only given seventeen days notice to write this speech. Contrary top what some believe, the speech was not written on the back of an envelope nor was it written on his train ride to Gettysburg. Once he reached Gettysburg David Wills invited him as a guest in his home the night before the memorial. This is where Lincoln put the finishing touches on the speech.
